What were you doing 13 years ago? Were you on a quest to lose your virginity or, perhaps more likely, watching a group of American teenagers' efforts? What would become a billion dollar franchise, American Pie, served up its fresh new brand of teen comedy in 1999 and spawned two immediate sequels and four straight-to-DVD spin-offs. This year Jim, Oz, Kevin and Finch have reassembled for their highschool reunion and, in one long-overdue weekend, will discover what has and hasn't changed with time, distance, and plenty of sex. iVillage.co.uk talk exclusively to members of the cast and crew about the final slice of American Pie...
It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) married while Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid) said goodbye. Oz (Chris Klein) and Heather (Mena Suvari) grew apart, but Finch (Eddie Kay Thomas) still longs for Stifler’s Mom (Jennifer Coolidge). And Stifler (Seann William Scott) remains the same as he ever was. Facebook has reinvented the long-distance friendship and mobile phones prove a challenge on Stifler's notoriety as a prankster - although a cool box full of poo proves he's still got the edge...
Completing the core group returning for the long-awaited flick are comedy legend Eugene Levy as Jim’s Dad, Natasha Lyonne as the sexually-wise Jessica, John Cho and Justin Isfeld as the world’s biggest MILF enthusiasts, Chris Owen as The Shermanator and Shannon Elizabeth as Jim’s first on-screen tryst, Nadia. They are joined by a supporting group of actors new to the series: Dania Ramirez as Selena, the East Great Falls ugly duckling who no one expected to become so gorgeous; Katrina Bowden as Mia, Oz’s vapid model girlfriend; Jay Harrington as Dr. Ron, Heather’s pompous cardiologist boyfriend and Ali Cobrin as Kara, Jim’s sexy and compromising next-door neighbour.
In our exclusive interview Thomas Ian Nicholas tells us why Kevin's become a laughing stock, Eddie Kay Thomas complains of his women troubles, Chris and Mena get competitive and writing/directing duo Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold & Kumar films) share their first experience working on the American Pie franchise...
